Charlotte nabs first pick in the Draft

By The Commissioner, Day 175, 2022

The Charlotte Drones won the 2023 JBL Draft Lottery and will select first in the Draft. The Baltimore Bullets received the #2 pick, while Minneapolis will pick #3.

Both the Blizzards and the Crusaders jumped picks, with the Crusaders gaining the #4 pick. The OKC Barons, who finished with the equal 2nd worst record, won the #5 pick, however their pick is owned by Mexico City.

Based on early mock drafts, it is likely that North Carolina's Isiah Evans or Louisville's Juwan Hughes will be selected with the first overall pick.
